Things to Do In Robertson // Wine Safari
This was an amazing weekend / vlog where I spent two days in Robertson and I joined a wine tour and I tried 3 different wine farms and do wine tasting. We got to try the best wines of Robertson and Robertson winery. I must say this was the best way to taste wine with wine valley safari. check the links below of the safari as well as the various wine farms within Robertson.
This is a must to add to your Cape Town wine route.
For me as a a 'wine drinking for beginners' I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Thanks again Patrick for the awesome flight.

West Coast National Park, famous for birds and spring flowers
The West Coast National Park is a short drive from Cape Town. In August and September the annual wild flower spectacle lures thousands. But its setting at the Langebaan Lagoon also makes it a varied and interesting protected area. One that must be on the to do list when travelling to the Western Cape.
For more news, visit:
Swellendam and Bontebok National Park, South Africa
About two hours east of Cape Town is a lovely little Dutch settlement called Swellendam. It is easily accessible through public transportation and is surrounded by the Langeberg Mountains (Marloth Nature Reserve), which has numerous trails for day hikes and overnight treks. You can spend the day at nearby Bontebok National Park, a nature reserve with hiking trails and animals that include antelope and zebra. Also a short distance away are numerous wineries along the Robertson Wine Route and many opportunities for horseback riding. Overall, Swellendam is a quaint town with a relaxing atmosphere including many family-run Dutch inspired restaurants in its humble downtown area. It may be the perfect stop for a couple days of of R&R on a more rigorous tour along the Garden Route.

YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY A BREATHTAKING AREA!!!
ONVERWACHT FLORA ACCOMMODATION is situated high in the Riviersonderend Mountains halfway between the twin villages of McGregor and Greyton.
ONVERWACHT offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
a 2h Drive from Cape Town via Worcester via Robertson and McGregor brings you to what is often described asThe road to Nowhere.
This nature,s lover,s paradise is situated at the start of the famous BOESMANSKLOOF HIKING TRAIL and those who wish to do so can hike the 16km
to Greyton or otherwise you can take our own private hiking trails at ONVERWACHT with mountainstreams,waterfalls and natural rockpools.
You do not need a permit to hike on ONVERWACHT.
The towns Greyton,McGregor,Ashton,Bonnievale,Robertson etc.are visible from the bungalows.
The lights of the visible towns are a spectacular picture at night.
The sunrise in the east is a breathtaking must for all the early birds!!!
The sunset in the west has the prettiest colours you can imagine!!
A two hour drive from Cape Town via Worcester onto the scenic Route 62, via Robertson and then through McGregor brings you to what is often called, The Road To Nowhere, what could very well be just a drive through farmlands, has a semi dead end with a surprise.
Tightly nestled in the heart of the Riviersonderend mountains, between the twin villages of Greyton and McGregor, a double storey, stone house catch the eye, aptly named -- Eagle's Nest. From the stone patios the real world is a far off memory.
The famous Boesmanskloof/The Galg Trail is literally at the front door of this stone house and all hikers of this trail pass by its presence on the trail.
Rooms
This self-catering guest house boasts four double bed bedrooms each with an en-suite (shower and toilet). Every room is named after an African eagle and equipped with linen and towels. The rooms are on the upper level of the guesthouse and access to a balcony with breath taking views over the gorge. A separate bedroom downstairs has three single beds also with en-suite (shower and toilet).
Open plan Lounge/Dining Room
Upon entering Eagle's Nest, your eyes are drawn to the glass sliding door which leads to the patio. This unlocks an amazing view on the Riviersonderend mountains and the natural rushing rock pools. A 12-seater dining table ensures long hours of socializing. Coaches and a wonderful interior braai ensures that when the mountain evenings turn its cooler side, you will be cosily cared for in the Eagles Nest.
Kitchen
A big family kitchen with a wooden table ensures a warmth that will make you feel right at home. It is fully equipped with crockery, cutlery and other cookware as well as a fridge, microwave, stove and a toaster and of course the necessary electricity. Exiting the kitchen door will hold yet another breath-taking disclosure.
Outside
What is better to enjoy the fresh mountain air, than to braai using the stone braai facilities? The area, being well-known for its Fynbos, flaunts its Erica, Speldekussing (Pin Cusion Flower), Leucodendron, Repens and Compacta. All of this cuddles Eagle's Nest and spectacular birdlife further gives rise to its majestic presence. These include Suikerbekkies, eagles, crows, sunbirds and owls.
With each visit you will find that the area has changed, because Fynbos changes with the seasons. That is what makes this place so magical.
Animals: Include klipspringers, grysbok and duikers. (Please do not frighten or chase the animals as some are very tame).
Moutain Biking: Bikers can challenge themselves on these roads with a variety of options to choose from.
Picnics: Picnics at the rock pools are very popular -- one can easily spend the whole day just relaxing.
The private Leopards Trail: which we offer our selves on our land starts and ends at Eagle's Nest and lasts approximately 3 hours. A real treat for any nature lover! If you intend of making use of this route, you will have to inform us beforehand
The grade 1-2 4x4 Waterkloof Trail and Route is only 2km long, but the destination calls for a special treat. Have a picnic, fish and/or swim in lovely river pools and white river banks. The gorge can only be reached by a 4x4 vehicle, mountain bike or by hiking.Your hosts will be more than happy to show guests a few private 4x5 trails, some of which may be quite challenging.
View Points: There are simply too many to mention!!!
